I am really excited to announce a very significant step forward with the Nominal Roll project. All letters, A-Z have now been created and populated with all aircrew names that appear on the Roll as operational aircrew.
In addition to this, “A” has been completed based on the first pass of information held in the database.
I have said many times before, the term ‘completed’ is a very relative one. It seems each time I return to an individual and metaphorically stare at them, another small piece of information comes to light and thus can be added – contacts this week alone have added the first names of 5 of the boys.
Additionally to this, I have dragged Kevin and Chris on board and we have had a massive increase in photographs of Squadron members, as well as new information to add.
At this point we have 431 photographs – 12% of the 3578 individuals listed – I am sure we will find many more – with your help!
Also, for easier access and perhaps to catch the eye of new visitors to the site, I have now created a specific top menu item that takes you to the downloadable aircrew information form – PLEASE if you haven’t filled one in, or thought about it and then forgot – go back, roll up your sleeves, put on your glasses, make a cup of tea and make your contribution to the Squadron, this site and the individual you are remembering!
View the “A” page……….
Simon – the work you have done on the 75 is truly a labour of love. So many have benefitted from being able to access and collate information which would have been impossible to find for the average family historian. I reconstructed Hector “Paddy” Stewart’s war with so much info from your own hard work. I gave him back to his family. Thank you.
